Boded out of cup on penalties

BODEDERN Athletic went out of the Cookson Cup on penalties after a pulsating home tie against Llanrug United.

The match itself finished 4-4 after 120 minutes, Shaun Jenkins, Aidan Clarke, Steven Whittaker and an own goal making up the Boded tally, Carl Griffiths, Aaron Hughes, Dylan Owen and Luke Phillips responding for the visitors.
